I want to use a ConcurrentDictionary in my app, but first I need to make sure I understand correctly how it works. In my app, I'll have one or more threads that write to, or delete from, the dictionary. And, I'll have one or more threads that read from the dictionary. Potentially, all at the same time.
Am I correct that the implementation of ConcurrentDictionary takes care of all the required locking for this to happen, and I don't need to provide my own locking? In other words, if one thread is writing to, or deleting from, the dictionary, a reading thread (or another write thread) will be blocked until the update or delete is finished?
Thanks very much.
